We have been alerted to a disgracefully cheap new promotion from TBI being run in November 2013. Even for these jaded TBI observers who have long doubted they could sink any lower, this one comes as a surprise. It turns out that TBI is now so cheap, nasty and miserly that it is now charging…
In this part of our investigation into TBI’s dodgy finances, we look at a scam in which they steal THR bonuses from expat teachers. The former manager of TBI Kelapa Gading is interviewed, with his responses based largely on his discussions with a former TBI Bekasi teacher and whistle-blower. What is THR exactly? It’s a…
Why are TBI and DIKNAS alike? Anyone care to hazard a guess? I’d say that the main reason they are alike is because they both dislike and resent expats. Allow me to explain. ARE DIKNAS XENOPHOBES? We, at this blog, have argued that the core of the new DIKNAS regulations is a desire to reduce…
According to psychologists, all people have an element of narcissistic self-love. It dates from our early childhood days when we are highly egocentric and unaware of the needs and rights of others. In a healthy individual a little bit of narcissism helps them weather difficult life experiences, and is part of our defense systems, but…
In recent weeks many of the former TBI victims have got a little tired of the ad hominem attacks on TBI Bekasi witnesses. One especially pesky individual decided to make allegations that D****, a former TBI Bekasi teacher, could not be believed because she had been asked to leave EF Gunung Sahari. Once we looked…
I knew RD personally- he was a very good man, very family oriented and a professional in his field. I know when he was in TBI Bogor he hired some great teachers and removed some not so good ones. The student numbers were constantly rising and his fellow teachers praised him a lot for his…
Below is a screen dump which shows Luke Preece lavishing praise on Cameron’s efforts at “bringing MK back to life” after the bad old days of Wati. As much as he tells new teachers today how terrible he was, before we started a blog exposing TBI corruption, Luke had a completely different impression of his…
Both EF and Wall Street are very open and transparent about student numbers while TBI has long been secretive about them. There is a long history to this point. Back in 2009 when I first became Academic Team Leader at TBI Kuningan I was ordered by Chris Needham (the then school manager) never to tell student…
TBI is a secretive company. This is because it is a company with a lot to hide. As many shocking revelations as we have made on this blog, it is sobering to think that we probably know only a small percentage of the rot which has gone on. This is because we were never in…
There have been many reports that DIKNAS is now tightening the screws on National Plus and International Schools too. Perhaps Indonesia will finally lose the services of degree-less Jakarta old hands like Matthew France, a former Luke Preece stooge who has been working without a degree at Penabur International School in Kelapa Gading since the…
